208 APPENDIX A 



ment and extension of the opportunities for scientific 

 study and research, that this criticism is concerned. 



In a document signed by Mr Carnegie, entitled 

 " Constitution of the Trust referred to in the foregoing 

 Trust Deed," the two objects of the Trust are referred 

 to under Clauses A and B respectively, and a third clause, 

 C, provided for any surplus income. 



Clause A opens : 



" One-half of the net annual income shall be applied 

 towards the improvement and expansion of the Universities 

 of Scotland, in the Faculties of Science and Medicine ; 

 also for improving and extending the opportunities for 

 scientific study and research, and for increasing the 

 facilities for acquiring a knowledge of History, Economics, 

 English Literature, and Modern Languages, and such 

 other subjects cognate to a technical and commercial 

 education as can be brought within the scope of the 

 University curriculum, by the erection and maintenance 

 of buildings, laboratories, class-rooms, museums, or libraries, 

 the providing of efficient apparatus, books and equipment, 

 the institution and endowment of Professorships and 

 Lectureships, including post-graduate Lectureships and 

 Scholarships, more especially Scholarships for the purpose 

 of encouraging research, or in such other manner as the 

 Committee may from time to time decide. . . ." 



The two passages cited from the official copy, issued 

 by the Carnegie Trust, of the Trust Deed and the Consti- 

 tution of the Trust referred to in the foregoing Trust 

 Deed, respectively, contain all that is germane to the 

 present criticism. 



But a reasonable interpretation, and the one initially 

 followed in the two larger of the Scottish Universities, 

 Edinburgh and Glasgow, would seem to be that the 

 money was given for the primary purpose of encouraging 

 scientific study and research, including, of course, medicine, 

 and that history and other subjects cognate to a modern 

 education were legitimate ancillary beneficiaries under 

 the Trust, and, lastly, that the older subjects of a classical 

 education were entirely excluded from participating.
